An exceptional 54-fold interpenetrated coordination polymerJournal of the American Chemical Society Share Entanglement is one of the most important features of coordination polymer frameworks and has attracted considerable attention due to its aesthetic and topological interest. Among
entangled systems, interpenetrating frameworks represent an intriguing subset; however, there are few examples of materials containing very high levels of interpenetration. More

MS analysis of nucleic acids in the post-genomic eraAnalytical Chemistry Share Alternative approaches complementing the existing technologies for analysis of nucleic acids and their assemblies are necessary to take on the new challenges posed by the postgenomic era. The versatility of MS in biopolymer analysis and its ability to reach beyond sequence information are the basis of ever expanding applications aimed at the elucidation
of nucleic acid structure−function relationships. More

A puzzle named Bengü SezenChemical & Engineering News Share Questions about the massive Bengü Sezen scientific fraud case at Columbia University linger in the August heat. But many of them will likely never be answered  especially the question, Why? Columbia in 2005 awarded her a Ph.D. degree in chemistry with distinction; however, it was based in large part on her fraudulent work. Details of the case make clear that Sezen, at the very least, has a sophisticated
understanding of chemical principles.More

The dinosaur that died in its tracksNew Scientist Share Polish paleontologists have reported a surprising fossil first  a Protoceratops dinosaur that apparently died in its own tracks about 80 million years ago in Mongolia. Footprints
are some of the only fossils that show us how dinosaurs and other long-extinct animals behaved when they were alive. But animals are rarely fossilised together with their final footprints. Invertebrates are an exception. More

Researchers prove existence of antiproton radiation belt around EarthPhysOrg Share Italian researchers using data from the satellite PAMELA have proven that theories showing there ought to be a ring of antiprotons encircling the Earth due to cosmic rays colliding
with nuclei in the upper atmosphere are correct. Piergiorgio Picozza from the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, and a host of colleagues have published the results of their findings in arXiv. More

Building blocks of DNA found in meteorites from spaceLive Science Share The components of DNA have now been confirmed to exist in extraterrestrial meteorites, researchers announced. A different team of scientists also discovered a number of molecules
linked with a vital ancient biological process, adding weight to the idea that the earliest forms of life on Earth may have been made up in part from materials delivered to Earth from space.More

A personal beer brewery that spouts pro-quality suds in a weekPopular Science Share Most beer drinkers don't have the time to muddle through the painstaking home-brewing process, but the WilliamsWarn Personal Brewery simplifies just about everything. The brewing system produces pro-grade beers in seven days, instead of four weeks. For now, WilliamsWarn brewers are limited to light ales, but eventually, says inventor and master brewer Ian Williams, they'll be able to make, store and pour 50-pint
batches of beers, from lagers to stouts.More
